Anonymous Finally Breaks Their Silence, Just Made Brutal Threat To Trump

Anymous finally broke its silence over our country’s 45th President Donald Trump following his election. The tipping point just may have been the crazy way he attacked both Civil Rights icon John Lewis and sitting (!) CIA Director John Brennan. Stated Trump about John Brennan through his infamous Twitter account recently, ‘Outgoing CIA Chief, John Brennan, blasts Pres-Elect Trump on Russia threat. Does not fully understand.’ Oh really, couldn’t do… much worse – just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?”

Anonymous clearly had enough, and decided to chime about Trump using Twitter handle YourAnonCentral. Stated Anonymous, “@realDonaldTrump you have financial and personal ties with Russian mobsters, child traffickers, and money launderers.” Later they added, “This isn’t the 80’s any longer, information doesn’t vanish, it is all out there. You are going to regret the next 4 years.” They continued, “We could care less about Democrats attacking you @realDonaldTrump, the fact of the matter is, you are implicated in some really heavy shit..” Added Anonymous, “Roy Cohen and your daddy aren’t here to protect you anymore.” Concluded Anonymous, “Oh and please tell your interns not to waste money hitting us with your Moldavian bot farm, stay frosty @realDonaldTrump.” Do you think Anonymous struck fear into Trump’s heart?

When it became apparent that the Russians had tapped into DNC e-mails, that would have been their cue to try to even the playing field. Maybe Anonymous could have prevented the hacking of the vote totals in some of the swing states...

But to wait 4 days before the agent/employee of Russia is to take office as the President of the United States to start making threats? Just STFU!

The overall message from the top-down is not to rely on "anonymous" people to do your work for you. There's no Santa Claus, either. Maybe aliens will swoop into the sky and save the planet.

Some of the comments show astonishment that the infamous hacker(s) haven't satisfied our desire for a comic book hero cutting through human limitations and getting the job done. Looks like it's going to be up to hard work and commitment, eh?

Tue Jan 17, 2017, 08:39 AM
Jan 2017

1. Always refer to him asskissing the religious right. He has no known religious views. He is simply licking the behinds of the religious right to keep their support and huge voting bloc. He's had to kiss a lot of tushies to get their votes and to keep on kissing them to maintain it. So let's keep on labeling him as their own special asskisser. I'm sure he'd love that: Trump Asskisser-in-Chief. I'm reluctant to dishonor the august profession of prostitution by calling him just another whore.

2. Change his name: call him Trump-fart instead of Trump since that would more accurately depict how we we view him. Also, isn't that what trumpets do anyway? (no disrespect to musicians intended)

On the flip side we have a well respected Director of the CIA, John Brennan, under attack by a Russian operative, the rump. Those unnamed heroes and heroines on "The Wall" deserve better than insults from an infantile pretender to the throne.

We're dealing with state sanctioned cyber attacks and propaganda peddling from a foreign country. Justice and restitution would have been hard enough to achieve, and now impossible since we have a mole president.

We are also dealing with nationalistic Republicans who include useful idiots and useful idiots savants. One just follows blindly, and the others do what they can to play a role where they can find personal rewards.

Yeah, this calls for white hats that can break the rules for all the right reasons.
